A farm stand and fun park in this Morris County town has cut portraits of Republican Gov. Chris Christie and his Democratic challenger, state Sen. Barbara Buono, into a cornfield maze that will be open to the paying public on Aug. 31.

The Stony Hill Farm Market says the maze — which was not carved by extra-terrestrials — will stay open until Nov. 10, five days after the election.

Dale Davis, the owner of Stony Hill Farm, came up with the concept.

"We did a political maze in 2008 of an elephant and a donkey. I chose this maze to recognize the election and to get people in New Jersey interested," he said. "We have never done a face before. If you're going to do a face, you want to use a recognizable one. Everybody recognizes Chris Christie. I don't know that a lot of people would recognize Buono."

The farm planted the corn in June, and it took up to half a dozen people to lay it out and get it all shaped, Davis said.

"I would absolutely love for them to visit," Davis said of the candidates. "They could make it a campaign stop if they wanted. They would get free maze passes if they came."

Public polls show Christie leading Buono by about 30 points in the race, and Christie spokesman Kevin Roberts suggested that the corn maze is an apt metaphor for her supporters’ plight.

“Feeling lost, directionless, and not sure how you're going to get to the end?” Roberts said. “Sounds like a Buono supporter to me.”
